As not to go of topic on the tyre warming/spinning thread I started this one.

I agree that all cars should have on board starting systems that are capable of starting the engine without external assistance.
I would also go a few steps further & say that all vehicles must leave their allocated paddock space when called in a condition that they intend drive it i.e. no tyre wrap but brushing of tyres with a coarse brush would be allowed to clear pickup, and that the starter system must be capable of multiple repeated starts.

Miss read that. Agree - a quick course brush approaching start would be ideal to clean pick up. No tyre warming in order to save venues from nimbys.,( which is a shame as I'm sure the majority of spectators enjoy the noise and drama and drivers enjoy it as psychological build up times ).

Whilst I understand the on board starter thoughts, I'm not convinced of the benefit....I've seen many a road car with on board starting struggle to re-start on the line when hot....and Steve Marr can't package said request in the Saxon....
as I said before - the tyre wrappers amongst us just need to have a process in place to ensure they are ready in a timely fashion....

As I said in another thread "Maybe what is needed is a cleaner Paddock, assembly area and return road or holding paddock. That way tyres are not picking up a load of stones etc." That would include the access road at Harewood as it is effectively a "return road".

Crikey Steve, I guess you must be a regular volunteer marshal and can supply an army of others to tackle this huge task along with all the other work required in people's spare time to put on an event?
